Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness, typically in the hands and feet. In severe cases, it can affect organs such as the heart, lungs, digestive tract, bladder/bowel and sex organs. At Laurel Mountain Chiropractic Center, we specialize in providing non-invasive, drug-free solutions for managing neuropathy symptoms. Through a combination of chiropractic care, nerve stimulation, and nutritional support, we help patients regain control of their lives by reducing pain and improving nerve function.
At Laurel Mountain Chiropractic Center, we use a multifaceted approach to treating neuropathy. Chiropractic adjustments help by reducing pressure on the nervous system, improving blood flow, and promoting nerve healing. Misalignments in the spine can contribute to neuropathy symptoms by impairing nerve communication, so correcting these misalignments can have a positive effect on nerve function.
In addition to spinal adjustments, we provide horizontal therapy, using state-of-the-art equipment to achieve successful results. Horizontal therapy is used to alter the chemical structure of nerve cells by running electrical currents through the body using different wavelengths and frequencies.
At the beginning of treatment, we start with low frequencies to remove high levels of a pain receptor called cAMP. After several sessions, cAMP levels will remain stable and we will begin to increase frequency levels that will penetrate further into the body and restructure dying nerve cells.
Throughout treatment, nutritional counseling will be provided because proper nutrition is essential for nerve health. We work with patients to address nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to their neuropathy symptoms.
Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. Neuropathy can result from a variety of causes, including diabetes, injury, infections, autoimmune diseases, and exposure to toxins. Common symptoms of neuropathy include:
- Numbness or Tingling: Many neuropathy patients experience a loss of sensation, often described as pins and needles.
- Burning Pain: Nerve damage can result in burning sensations, particularly in the feet and hands.
- Weakness: Neuropathy can cause muscle weakness, making everyday activities more difficult.
- Balance Issues: Due to the loss of sensation in the feet, neuropathy can affect balance and coordination.
- Decreased Organ Function: Nerves innervate to every organ in the human body. When neuropathy affects the autonomic nerves, symptoms may include irregular heartbeat, body temperature fluctuations, digestive distress, bladder/bowel incontinence, etc.
Neuropathy can significantly impact your quality of life, but our treatments offer hope for relief and recovery. Some of the key benefits of our neuropathy treatment program include:
- Pain Relief: Our treatments focus on reducing the pain associated with neuropathy, improving your ability to move comfortably.
- Improved Nerve Function: Chiropractic adjustments and other therapies promote healing of damaged nerves, improving sensation, strength and organ function.
- Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: Our approach to treating neuropathy does not rely on medications or invasive procedures, making it a safe and effective option for long-term management.
Your treatment plan will begin with a thorough evaluation, including a neurological assessment and a review of your medical history. Based on your specific symptoms and condition, we’ll create a tailored treatment program that includes spinal adjustments, horizontal therapy and nutritional counseling. Over the course of your treatment, you’ll experience gradual improvements in pain, sensation, mobility and organ function.
